The Dancer With Cancer

7; Not normal teenagers.

     The sun pierced my eyes since it was so bright, I couldn't see for at least 10 seconds. The bed I was laying in was so much more comfortable then the one I lay in each night at the hell of house that I live in. I finally had to strengthen to open my eyes, who the hell keeps their blinds open this early?

       Then realization set in, my eyes quickly scanned the entire room to make sure there wasn't another body in here with me. I've read it in fan fictions and see it in movies all the time, yanno the stupid girl who ends up getting wasted and ends up sleeping with the terrible guy. I silently prayed to myself that I wasn't that kind of stupid girl. Luckily, I didn't see any shirtless guy laying in the bed looking like a complete goddess, or worse, a creeper. I just remember looking at the huge willow tree in Justin's...- oh crap

     I got up quickly and ran down the stairs, there was so many stairs but I was just looking for the nearest person to tell me what happened last night. I ran down a long hallway, everything was just so big and white. The house looked expensive, but had no character, no love. I got to the kitchen and there was someone standing towards the stove, sweatpants on and no shirt. Showing the mascullar shoulder blades, I didn't know what to do with myself. "Uh-um" I spoke up so the mysterious man could turn around. "Well, Goodmorning to you too." Justin said turning around. "Please please don't tell me we did something stupid last night. I can't be seen as a slut, I didn't mean for any of this to happen I, what, um what time is it? Well now it doesn't matter because I'm late. I'm so late. I'm so stupid, how could I, why did I, I have to go. I'm so sorry-" I went to turn around and run through the front door but Justin grabbed my wrist and pulled me into his bare chest, "You ramble way to much" he mumbled in my ear. That caused shivers to run down my entire body "and to answer your ridiculous questions, no we didn't do anything last night. I'm not that stupid Kiley. It's also 7:23 A.M so just calm down." 7:23? I should have already had breakfast done and now Carol and Tom are gonna chop my head off. "I- no I'm really late oh my gosh." Before I knew it tears were running down my face I didn't notice until Justin wiped them "Late? Where? Do you need me to take you somewhere?"

   I couldn't let Justin see my house. He would be appalled. The other houses around me are nice, but mine is just awful. Dirty, and poor. Something you don't want to walk in. My house compared to this mansion? Justin will just laugh in my face and call me a scholarship kid.

And well, that's what I am.

"No, Ill be fine I'm just gonna take the bus." I mumbled while pulling my face out of Justin's grasp. He stared at me as if I he was trying to figure me out. "You're imposible to read. Did you know that?" I gave him a tight smile and walked out the door. I literally can't think of the things that Tom are gonna say, or do. I've never been late, I've never fully disobeyed Tom. I never disobey him and I still get beat, so can you just imagine what's gonna happen when I get home?

Should I even go home?

I shook my head, silly thoughts. Of course I have to go home, I can get in big trouble with the law if I don't, I'm still a minor.

After an hour bus ride, I looked at my watch which read 8:30 A.M and well, it's now or never. I walked into the broken house with my hands trembling. As soon as I walking in, with my left foot first, my hair was pulled and I was suddenly on the ground. I hurriedly curled into a ball and screamed a painful "I'm sorry." I kept my head tucked into my chest for about 30 seconds.

Did he walk away?

Slowly lifting my head, I was wrong. He was just waiting for me to lift my head. As soon as I did his foot connected with my face and I blacked out.

Dustin's Pov

      Where the hell is Kiley? I've known her for years and I can truly say she's never missed a day. Even ever she is sick, she still comes. Kiley has had perfect attendance since 5th grade. School is eight hours she gets to be away from Tom and Carol. I looked at my watch which read 8:32 and well, shes officially late. First period of the day I have with Kiley as well as 5th period.  I have 2nd period with Rose, so I'll just question her where Kiley is when I get there.
